Joachim Trier’s Oscar winner “Sentimental Value” became this year’s biggest Amanda Awards winner, taking home eight statuettes, including the top prize for best Norwegian film. Trier was also awarded for directing, as well as his screenplay written with longtime collaborator Eskil Vogt. “There’s a lot of stuff going on when you make and release films, and we both like to go back to that safe space and rediscover that calm where it’s just our two voices. We are fortunate enough that our films generate more and more noise that we have to shut out, so when we work, we make it personal and small again,” they told Variety back in January. “When I write alone, I procrastinate. When I’m procrastinating with Joachim, even if I haven’t done anything, at least I got to spend a day with my friend,” said Vogt, with Trier adding:

Mark Ruffalo has fired back at Paramount after the company slammed the actor as “antisemitic” for accusing David and Larry Ellison of “powering some of the most destructive and inhuman forces in the world.” “The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest,” Ruffalo wrote on X Saturday morning. “Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.

This article contains discussion of addiction. "Gone Girl" is the best and worst thing to happen to one specific corner of pop culture. On the one hand, Gillian Flynn's brilliant book and David Fincher's big screen adaptation are both equally great. On the other hand, they gave us weird schlock like "The Girl on the Train," Emily Blunt's fever dream murder mystery that hit theaters in 2016 and remains a bizarre time capsule of that specific cultural period. Before I get into the larger cultural context, let's talk more specifically about "The Girl on the Train," as directed by Tate Taylor (who also brought us the equally lackluster

Why does everyone love Spider-Man so much? When “Spider-Man: No Way Home” came out at the end of 2021, it made an insane amount of money ($814 million in the U.S. alone), blasting away any vestige of that era’s comic-book-movie fatigue. I thought the reason for the film’s mind-boggling success was obvious: It had three Spider-Men in it — Tom Holland, Andrew Garfield, and the Og Tobey Maguire — and that made it a unique royal-family reunion of spider-veined spandex. There was a perfect storm of happenstance to how that confluence came to be. “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” (an infinitely better movie) had come out two years before, and borrowing deeply from the comic books it did a brilliant job of injecting head-spinning multiverse madness into the Spider-Man saga. The makers of “No Way Home” said, in essence, “Let’s do the same thing — only in a pandering, overstuffed, how-many-movie-stars-can-dangle-from-the-end-of-a-web? way.

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Erin Moriarty has truly made a name for herself in recent years as Starlight on "The Boys." The very bloody superhero TV series started life as a comic book, which itself was originally a Justice League satire set in the DC Universe but eventually became its own thing. The show was enormously popular, and Moriarty was at the center of the action from the very beginning, right up through to the bitter, bloody end. "The Boys" was developed for TV by Erik Kripke, who served as the showrunner, but none other than Seth Rogen and his producing partner, Evan Goldberg,

“National Treasure” director Jon Turteltaub says a third film is happening. “I have not said anything before this, but you deserve to have the scoop,” Turteltaub said at a live taping of the “National Treasure Hunt” podcast (via The Philadelphia Inquirer). He added that the audience was “the first people I have said this out loud to.” “It’s happening,” he said of “National Treasure 3.” “I have not said anything before this, but you deserve to have the scoop. It’s finally real. Now, it’s ‘Hollywood real,’ meaning things could happen. Nic gets hit by a bus, there’s no ‘National Treasure 3.’ If I get hit by a bus, there’s probably a ‘National Treasure 3.’ Welcome to Hollywood.” Reps for Disney and Nicolas Cage did not immediately respond to Variety’s request for comment Turteltaub said that a script is already in the works, adding that “to whatever extent we can,

"Young Guns," the 1988 film written by John Fusco and directed by Christopher Cain, is an '80s film that simultaneously feels well-known yet underdiscussed. Its fame is thanks to its ingenious idea of casting buzzy young stars as the notorious Billy the Kid and the Regulators, who raised a ruckus in and around New Mexico during the late 1870s. The Regulators gang was played in the film by Kiefer Sutherland, Lou Diamond Phillips, Charlie Sheen, Dermot Mulroney, and Casey Siemaszko. The idea was to give these Old West legends a modern resonance by pointing out parallels between their outlaw nature and the rebellious "Brat Pack" youth the actors unwittingly represented.

Renny Harlan's "The Legend of Hercules" was released in January of 2014 to widespread indifference and low box office receipts. It's one of the ultimate examples of a January movie, that is: a piece of junk that the studios decided to unceremoniously dump in theaters at the time of year when people are paying attention to new releases the least. January is usually the time when mass audiences are catching up with Oscar fare from a month prior, and ignoring everything else. There's a reason why the kids over at Red Letter Media call the month "F*** You, It's January." On a $70 million budget, "The Legend of Hercules" opened to a mere $8.8 million,
